Jason Fox

Going soft?? Seriously? These guys are bigger faster fitter stronger than ever. Tip tackles can ruin lives and careers. No place for it in rugby.

Bertie 'Waterboy' Elliott

Listen to the commentary it was never a red

Luc Jenkins

Put him down safely?! Watch it again. Very dangerous tackle. Pisi thought he was going to get a red, massive relief on receiving a yellow

Conall Thomas

Then pisi tries to through his head into the floor completely a yellow if biggar hadn't of got his hand down he'd be on stretcher

Charlie Rhodes

Tip tackles where the player doesn't land on head or neck are considerably less dangerous than some of the stuff that happens in rugby. When did you last see someone carded for touching a player in the air in a line out- could be so much more dangerous than gentle tip tackle

Jason Fox
Jason F. 1 decade ago

Seems your the only one saying it didn't deserve a card.

Jake Gilbert
Jake G. 1 decade ago

Saints player sent off? That's unheard of!

James Pullen

What's this 'jump' bullshit??? Biggar was running, hence his feet were off the ground. Even if he made a world record jump in the air, how does that mean pisi has to turn him beyond the horizontal and drive him into the ground? It makes no sense whatsoever. Whatever your take on it, that's a red card.

Luc Jenkins

I've watched it again, Pisi is in the air when Biggar lands, not possible he put him down safely. By the book it was a red

Conall Thomas
Conall T. 1 decade ago

Not as often but lineout pull downs are hardly ever deliberate tip tackles that result in cards, card resulting tip tackles are more often then not a player lifting another player then purposely dropping/ pushing his head/neck towards the ground. Clear intent to hurt or injure in this tackle nothing else, lineout pens for pulling should occur more often but many pens are players pulling arms away from the ball not someone pulling a man at the full height of a lift and pulling him to the floor onto back/neck or even head like many tip tackles are. Pisi tries to put his head on the floor end off a yellow because he's held onto him and biggars saved himself could have been a red to some refs but luckily the TMO and ref agree it could have been worse

Martin Trorey

it was a yellow because he didnt land on his head. It was dangerous, but no more than a yellow.

Darren Stride
Darren S. 1 decade ago

Defo a yellow not a red I think some people on here don't know the rules

Rhys Anthony Jones
Rhys J. 1 decade ago

Most tip tackles aren't even that dangerous unless they land on their head it should be fine rugby is going way to soft

James Pullen
Furious Jimbo 1 decade ago

If Biggar hadn't been able to free his arm, he would have landed on his head.

James Pullen

Clerc didn't land on his head when Warburton tackled him either.
